With a population of roughly 5,600, Palmerton retains its small-town spirit and industrial history, originally established by the New Jersey Zinc Company in the early 1900s. The borough features a historic downtown with mom-and-pop shops and local restaurants, and homes here are characterized by Pennsylvania architectural styles such as American Foursquare twin homes and Pennsylvania German Double Door Farmhouses. Properties are generally small, with lots less than a tenth of an acre, though larger lots are found farther from downtown.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby Appalachian Trail and Lehigh Gap Nature Center. The annual Palmerton Community Festival, held the weekend after Labor Day, is a major event, featuring rides, games, and performances, and serves as a significant fundraiser for local nonprofits. The Palmerton Historic District on Delaware Avenue is home to small businesses, services, and a variety of pizzerias. Grocery shopping is primarily done at Country Harvest Family Market, with larger chains located in Lehighton, about 8 miles away. The Palmerton Area School District receives average ratings, and the borough also hosts the private Saint John Neumann Regional School.
